The ancient Romans wore promise rings to signify that they
intended to marry. In the 15th
century Posey rings became popular in Europe, with these rings being a symbol
of devotion between lovers. Acrostic rings were popular through the Victorian
era, spelling out secret messages like “love” or “regard.” Later, it became
popular in the United States for teens to present their girlfriends their class
rings to indicate that they were “going steady.” Today, we have the promise
ring.

As you
can see, rings have played an integral part in cultures all over the world.
They can represent love, purity, devotion, monogamy, but aren’t limited to
that. The beauty in jewelry is that it is personal, and it represents what is
in your heart. As young people are waiting longer to get married, many waiting
until after they have finished their education and starting their careers, they
are looking for a way to represent their commitment to one another. A promise
ring takes the commitment to the next level, while giving the couple the time
needed to achieve their goals and prepare to build their lives together. Promise rings tend to be less expensive than
engagement rings, and often serve as a placeholder until such time that they
couple is prepared to start planning for marriage. However, those aren’t the
only times a promise ring may be given. Here are some other common examples of
promise rings:

Purity
rings: A ring presented to a child by an older relative to symbolize the
child’s promise to remain pure until marriage.

Pre-engagement
rings: A common use for a promise ring, meant to be a placeholder until the
couple comes of age or finishes their education, at which time they will
proceed with a traditional engagement.

Monogamy
Ring: A promise ring that symbolizes that though the couple is not pursuing
marriage, they are in fact deeply committed to one another and are no longer
open to other relationships.

Friendship
Ring: This ring represents the close friendship between two people, and
signifies that they will always be there for one another. It does not have
romantic connotation.

Whether
you are presenting a child with their first piece of jewelry, celebrating a
graduation, commitment, engagement, wedding, or birth of a child… we will

how much they mean to you. It’s moments like these that need to be treasured,
and a promise ring will commemorate how truly special that moment is. When you
present your loved one with a promise ring, you are doing more than giving them
a gift that will last a lifetime. You are presenting them with a gift that
transcends time, one that transcends culture.
